Description
This tract begins with the following:
There are people who have never heard of Robert Moffat, a missionary to Africa. Moffat was born in Ormiston, Scotland in 1795. His education was extremely poor, so he quit school and became apprenticed as a gardener. During Moffat’s teenage years he heard the preaching of the Gospel and repented of his sin and trusted Jesus Christ as his Saviour. Sometime later he attended a missionary meeting and the Lord led him to become a missionary. Moffat applied to a missionary organization but, because of his poor education, they refused to accept. Even though the missionary society refused him, in 1816 Moffat set sail for South Africa. Mary Smith was the daughter of his former employer and two years later they were married, a marriage that lasted fifty years.
Once in South Africa, Moffat worked in Cape Town but then decided to move north and work among a group known as the Hottentot, a tribal people. “Hottentot was the name given these people by the early Dutch settlers.” “The Chief of these people was a savage leader named Africaner. He had been ill-treated by white men and so was filled with hatred and revenge. He killed his white boss and his wife and sought to shoot every white person he met. He not only killed people but made drum-heads out of their skins and drinking bowls out of their skulls.” [copied]
Because of crimes by tribe chief,. . . .
